Wrongful death is a type of civil action that allows the survivors of a deceased person to seek monetary damages against the negligent party that caused that person’s death. A wrongful death lawsuit can arise when a person dies as the result of a wrongful act or negligence of another person or entity.
There are many causes of wrongful death ranging from hit-and-run accidents and medical malpractice, to motor vehicle collisions and pedestrian accidents.
At Parker Waichman LLP, our legal team has handled many cases that involved the following causes of wrongful death:
If your loved one died in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another person or entity, you and your family deserve justice and compensation for your devastating loss. At our law firm, our wrongful death attorneys will help you hold the liable party accountable for their negligence, to help your family find closure and to allow you to move on with your lives.
A wrongful death lawsuit can arise from many circumstances, such as an auto accident, workplace accident, or medical malpractice. Generally, any individual or entity whose recklessness, negligence, or intentional actions resulted in or contributed to the death of an individual can be held liable for wrongful death.
Common parties that can be held liable include:
As you and your family mourn the loss of a loved one, it’s important to take legal action as soon as possible. While pursuing compensation may not be a top priority during this time, you must take legal action to obtain the compensation and the justice you and your family deserve.
Compensation recovered in a wrongful death lawsuit can help ease the financial burden you are experiencing due to the medical bills of the deceased person, their funeral and burial costs, and the loss of income the decedent financially contributed to your household. While compensation cannot make up for your loss, it can help to reduce your stress and allow you to take time to grieve and move on with your life.
